Back to the grind

For whatever reason, I decided to get up at 5:30 this morning. My thinking is that I can enjoy a few more minutes at home with an actual breakfast and a few cups of coffee rather than struggling to make it to school on time because I slept too long. We'll see if I keep getting up as early over the next few weeks.

A couple of goals that I'm hoping to attain are:

Walking an hour a day

Eating a good breakfast

The body is designed to walk, and I read that walking an hour everyday can have a very positive impact. Eating a good breakfast will help me make it through the day more easily, I hope.

I have some dread for going to work today. That typical middle school silliness will be around me all day and that gets old. But I'm going to try to make it the best I can.

Yesterday, Rachel and I had a nice day with my parents at their house. We got to walk at the track, play with Alijah (my cousin), and just sit around and talk.

And for all you weather fanatics, I'll be watching the weather this week to see if we have a good shot for snow this weekend.

I hope you can stay awake today. Do not dread the day, just look around and pick one person to make a positive influence on. I know there is at least one student or teacher that feels like you do that you can make an impact on maybe by just taking a minute to ask them about their weekend, etc. and then just listen. God will lead you. Dad

About Me

I am currently in my sixth year in education as a Spanish teacher. I have been married since 2003 to Rachel. I have a sister who is 12 years older than me and has two young sons. My parents live in the small town where I and they grew up and have been married over 40 years. I frequently visit them, and I also enjoy visiting (nearly every day on the phone) with my 82-year-old grandma who lives 10 miles east of my parents in the country.
